The Wrecking Crew, the upcoming action-comedy starring Dave Bautista and Jason Momoa, has released its exciting first trailer<\/a>, with the film just three weeks away from its release.<\/p>\n

The film<\/a> sees the pair portray James and Jonny, two half-brothers who reunite after the “mysterious” death of their father. While Bautista’s James is a disciplined Navy SEAL, Momoa’s Jonny is a free-spirited police officer. <\/p>\n

“As they set out to uncover the truth, buried secrets resurface and loyalties are tested, unveiling a conspiracy that can tear their family apart,” teases the logline. “Together, they are ready to wreck anything that gets in their way.”<\/p>\n

Ahead of its release on Prime Video<\/a> later this month (28 January), the streamer<\/a> has now released an action-packed trailer, with the pair’s bickering also being a feature amid all the carnage in Hawaii.<\/p>\n

In addition to Bautista and Momoa, the cast for The Wrecking Crew includes Claes Bang, Temuera Morrison, Jacob Batalon, Frankie Adams, Miyavi, Stephen Root and Morena Baccarin.<\/p>\n

\u00c1ngel Manuel Soto, best known for Blue Beetle and Charm City Kings, is serving as the director for the action-comedy, with Jonathan Tropper (Banshee, Your Friends and Neighbours) writing the screenplay.<\/p>\n

Ahead of its release, Momoa, Trooper and Soto spoke with Esquire<\/a> about what genre fans can expect from the film<\/a>, with the director teasing: “Investigating their father’s death, that\u2019s the cathartic thing. <\/p>\n

“Of course, the sibling rivalry and the issues they have are ripe for humour. But when I read a script, I try to see three avenues: You have the plot, emotion, and then maybe you have: ‘What\u2019s this saying about the world? What commentary are we making?\u2019”<\/p>\n

“Jason brings this wild, crazy, unpredictable side,” he added. “Dave brings this disciplined, methodical, slow-burn intensity to him. And well, they\u2019re both big. They have a lot of gravity. As men, they couldn\u2019t be more different from each other.”<\/p>\n

The Wrecking Crew will stream on Prime Video on 28 January.<\/p>\n
